We also participated in our library's reading program.

We have finished up our VBS and two unit studies. I have several books we are continuing with through the rest of August, and the children are finishing up their summer workbooks.

In September, we will begin our fall curriculum.

The older children will using a literature unit study that studies all of the Chronicles of Narnia and incorporates other works by Lewis.- Further Up and Further In.
This will cover their language arts, history, and science.

The younger girls will be doing Five in a Row Volume 1.
This will cover their language arts, history, and science.

All of the children will also be listening to Story of the World Volume 3.

We will continue with Latin For Children Primer A which we started last year and then begin B.

I am using The Fallacy Detectives with older children to teach logic.

The little girls are using Explode the Code to practice phonics.

The big kids will be doing cursive copywork while the little girls will continue with Handwriting Without Tears for copywork practice.

We will be using A Child's Geography.

And for picture study, Art Auction Mystery, which looks to be really fun!

I am going to let the kids listen to Classics for Kids again this year. This is a great website with a weekly musical program focusing on various composers and genres of music.

I also plan to incorporate Shakespeare again, but I haven't decided if we are just going to read from Beautiful Stories and Lamb's Tales again or if I am going to pick a play to study.

Wow! It looks like lots laid out like that. I am looking forward to a fun year!

We did like Latin for Children, Karen. All of us, including me, were new to Latin. I went very slow and we only completed half of Primer A last year. I started out without the DVD and quickly figured out we needed it! :-)
